Lord of the Earth

"Your Majesty, please change your clothes!"

In the mirage.

Under Ah Zhu's service, Xia Tian washed away the aura from killing water ghosts in a spiritual spring containing "True Dragon Spirit Liquid".

The latter took out a bronze three-legged incense burner with a round body, opened it, put a ball of "ambergris" in it and lit it. The wisps of smoke turned into patterns of cranes, phoenixes, and dragons, surrounding the summer and emitting a refreshing fragrance...

Previously, in the "marriage gambling contest" of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Xia Tian won several items.

Among them, in addition to the "Divine Sword Canon".

What Xia Tian cared about most was the "bronze incense burner" that the shirtless and chained man had taken out.

[Divine Furnace (Jade White)]

[Type] Strange object

[Features] Divine Thought (the smoke produced can make people's thinking enter a high-speed state, so that learning can be improved tenfold), Blue Dragon Seven Stars (contains the secret of the power of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars), Jianmu Fruit (after placing it back into the bronze Jianmu, it can gain new features)
[Description] A special and strange object born from Jianmu. Legend has it that it contains the secret that leads to a "holy land" for the human race!

This is the fifth treasure related to the "Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon" that Xia Tian has obtained so far.

Theoretically, the remaining two pieces would be enough to unlock the secrets hidden in the "Mirage", and Xia Tian was naturally very interested in this...

However, this matter is not the top priority at the moment.

The reason why Xia Tian appeared here was not only to clear out the "water ghost passage" lurking in this area, but also to test the power of the following "Divine Sword Canon".

It is also because a big event is approaching, and all unstable factors must be eliminated in order to ensure its effect!

"Your Majesty, these days, we have already..."

In the mirage, the person sitting in the reception hall was Jia Xu, holding a military book and wearing a purple robe.

Because Zhuge Liang, the prime minister and head of the government affairs office, spends most of his time in Baiyujing, and as the deputy head of both the Military Affairs Office and the Government Affairs Office, he accompanies Xia Tian on the expedition, and also reports on the development of the Qianxia Dynasty to Xia Tian, ​​who has been in seclusion these days!

"Your Majesty, after these three months, we have already digested the resources left by the Mountain Ghosts, Blood Clan, and Soul Clan... Now the farthest range covered by the Sea of ​​Luck Clouds has exceeded 10,000 miles..."

"Within this area, the human territories have successively surrendered to our Qianxia Dynasty. Except for a small number of them, 90% of the forces in our Huaxia region have agreed to be led by our Qianxia Dynasty, and some have even been directly incorporated into our Qianxia Dynasty... Because of the joining of these human forces, our total population has increased by 5.2 million, 19 fortune cities, and 213 fortune towns...

"The total population has now reached 20 million... and the 'great unification' of the Chinese region has been initially formed!"

Jia Xu's expression was solemn, and there was a hint of joy in his voice.

Even the "poisonous scholar" who usually doesn't show his emotions on his demeanor shows pride on his face at this moment!

After all, a population of 20 million and a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles can already be considered a "great country". Some dynasties in ancient China that were considered to be "unified" may not have had such a population in their early days!

This only counts the number of humans, if the affiliated alien races are included.

For example, the Jiaolong tribe, the Gnolls, the Gray Dwarves... and those aquatic creatures that originally belonged to the Lilong Dynasty, their total number is probably over 30 million!
"Thank you for your hard work..."

Xia Tian also felt quite satisfied in his heart and spoke emotionally.

After all, it has been less than two years since he officially arrived in the Eternal Land. From the initial solitary lord's mansion to the current population of 20 million, there are more than a hundred human cities, and thousands of human villages and towns.

It can be said that the achievements are remarkable!
The most important thing is to follow the map markings provided by Jia Xu.

When the Qianxia Dynasty's sea of ​​luck and clouds extended thousands of miles away, the Qianxia Dynasty had officially discovered the edge of the area where the "Chinese race" had landed. In other words, theoretically, the power of the Qianxia Dynasty has now "fully covered" this area of ​​the Chinese race!
Moreover, within this range, more than 90% of the human forces have "surrendered" to the Qianxia Dynasty.

In fact, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to "conquer" these human forces.

Because, the "internal strife" among human beings is extremely "unjust" under the current conditions!

Even though the Qianxia Dynasty has become a "hegemon" with military strength that is ten or a hundred times greater than any other human force, it is not convenient to force these forces to surrender by forceful invasion!
However, the emergence of the "Descent Channel" gave the Qianxia Dynasty a very good opportunity.

You know, the "descent channel" of the alien race threatens far more than just the Qianxia Dynasty.

There are also more or less "descent channels" appearing near other human forces. Many of these races have hatred towards humans and are very powerful. Many human forces find it difficult to cope with them and have turned to the Qianxia Dynasty for help!

The Qianxia Dynasty, which had dealt with the four "descent channels" of foreign races within its borders, also had enough capabilities to help in the battle.

However, after all, the number of people in the Qianxia Dynasty is also limited. Who to send troops to rescue first must have a certain degree of distance and closeness?
In addition, when a large army goes to war, it will inevitably face various consumptions and injuries. Soldiers will be extremely sad if their relatives die in battle. In this case, if they are not "our own people", why would the Qianxia Dynasty sacrifice its own soldiers to fight for you?

That is why, in this area.

Except for a small number of human forces, the rest have joined the "Qianxia Dynasty Alliance".

There are even some places like "Liangshanpo and Lingquan Territory" that chose to give up their original autonomy and completely became a "town" of the Qianxia Dynasty!
For example, Blackwood Cliff and Tianxiahui, who had already arrived in the Eternal Land a long time ago...

In addition, there are some people from other schools of thought in the world of "The Legend of Qin" who have descended to the nearby area, such as doctors, military strategists, Taoists... These people have also come to join the dynasty in large numbers, greatly expanding the talent pool of the Qianxia Dynasty!
"During this process, we also took the opportunity to train our troops. Now, the number of elite soldiers with Transcendent Level 5 or above that we have cultivated has exceeded 500,000! The number of ordinary Transcendent people has exceeded 2.5 million!"

This number is already quite considerable.

Due to limited resources and background, the number of soldiers who have undergone five transformations or more in most territories does not exceed 10,000!
It is even more impossible to do so, as the army occupies nearly one-tenth of the country's population, and almost all of their members have reached the "Transcendent" level!
"Of course, the ten most powerful arms, each of which already has more than 300 soldiers with extraordinary cultivation..."

This also demonstrates the background.

Theoretically, only creatures with a silver rating can ensure that they can easily advance to the extraordinary level!

The chance of "blue talents" being promoted to extraordinary levels has dropped significantly. The fact that the Qianxia Dynasty was able to cultivate more than three thousand soldiers with extraordinary abilities shows that the foundation is strong enough!

"Including this 'Water Ghost Tribe', a total of six additional secret passages to alien races have been destroyed in these days, and a total of nine alien saints have been killed... Military leaders such as Wu Song and Qi Jiguang; Palace Masters such as Gan Jiang and Moye have successively condensed the holy map and entered the realm of saints..." Jia Xu said again.

Today, the number of saints in the Qianxia Dynasty has exceeded fifteen.

It can be said that they are strong in both men and horses, and are no worse than the "Taixuan Sect" which is the world overlord!
The most important point is that during this period of war, the senior military officers of the Qianxia Dynasty did not suffer any major casualties.

This is even more rare.

Because the physical strength of the human race does not have an absolute advantage over many powerful alien races!
But the Terrans can take advantage of equipment.

Especially Gan Jiang and Mo Ye have already set foot in the holy land.

Relying on the "Artifact Furnace" to create holy weapons on a large scale, every general of the Qianxia Dynasty is armed to the teeth. The top-level holy soldiers with "soldier souls" are much more powerful than the claws and scales of most alien races!
After opening the "Dragon's Treasure House" on the fourth floor, Xia Tian further exchanged several artifacts from the dragon clan and assigned them to the main generals of the "Ten Major Arms".

In addition, there is also the miracle doctor Hua Tuo, who can rescue people in time...

In fact, apart from Zhao Yun who has always been invincible on the battlefield, even Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Gan Ning and others were seriously injured in the battle, but they were not in danger thanks to the holy elixir prepared by Hua Tuo!

Of course, there is another important reason.

In fact, if these alien forces whose "Descent Channel" was destroyed had resisted forcefully, the Qianxia Dynasty might not have been able to take it down so easily.

After all, every living being who can be protected by the will of their own world after the destruction of heaven and earth, or who is favored by the gods and sent to the land of eternity, is a best!
Even though the human race has strong overall strength, there are still some masters of the same level among the enemies.

However, for any race, the purpose of war is to gain benefits.

At the beginning, the Qianxia Dynasty used extremely powerful means to kill the three major races of ghosts, bloods, and souls, and forced the sea clan to retreat.

Especially the Blood Clan and the Soul Clan, both of which are well-known high-level and even top-level races in the universe. There are also "incarnations of gods" who have appeared, but they were still blocked by the Qianxia Dynasty...

Such a situation was naturally seen by many foreign races.

Except for a small number of races that have a "mortal enemy relationship" with humans and are vassals of a certain god.

For example, this clan of water ghosts is endowed with the ability to "possess" humans and use their souls as food. They are unwilling to leave easily, and they rely on the fact that their "secret passage" is located in the water, which is very secretive. They secretly lure humans into the water and murder them!

However, they didn't expect that after being spotted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, they used the "Mirage" to transport a large army and wiped it out in one fell swoop.

Of course, after weighing the pros and cons, the vast majority of races chose to give up their own "descent channels" and not engage in a head-on fight with humans for the time being.

This also made the expansion strategy of the Qianxia Dynasty very smooth and successful in a sense.

"So within the ten thousand mile radius of our country, the threat from alien forces has almost been eliminated...On the contrary, some human forces are still a bit troublesome."

Jia Xu frowned slightly again and said.

Not all human forces need to rely on the Qianxia Dynasty to deal with the "alien passage". There are also a few relatively powerful "human forces" that can block it on their own!
At the same time, the "alien secret passage" does not appear within the scope of any human force!

After all, it costs a lot to accurately deploy "troops" in the eternal land.

Therefore, even the "Gods" only target some "city"-level forces among the human race that are strong enough before they invest... In fact, from current observations, the prerequisite for the appearance of a secret passage is to have a force of luck that has reached the "city" level or above.

Therefore, being weak has become an "advantage" in a sense.

A part of the human race's forces have not yet achieved the "city" and will not be directly attacked. In fact, due to the expansion of the Qianxia Dynasty, they have cleared the surrounding alien races and obstacles and eliminated the threat!
In this way, it would naturally be impossible to "submit" to the Qianxia Dynasty or even join it.

After all, as the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.

Being a high and mighty lord is definitely better than being a subordinate "city lord"!
Even though this city lord's status is far higher than his own lord, and he can even obtain more luck blessings, whether in terms of cultivation speed or power, he is higher than the lord...

But it is also difficult to shake the minds of these people!
The Qianxia Dynasty has now destroyed all the "descent channels" of alien races, which has eliminated the biggest threat to these small forces.

Next, you just need to guard your own piece of land well and reap the fruits of your labor. Isn't that a happy and comfortable life?

"I have a way to solve this problem..."

After knowing this situation, Xia Tian didn't care much.

Because, according to the secret scroll of "Casting the Heavenly Palace", if one can achieve the fortune of the "Dynasty Dynasty" itself, it will completely suppress the fortune of other forces below the dynasty in the territory.

The luck of all human forces that are not from the Qianxia Dynasty will be directly and forcibly suppressed. Not only will their luck be difficult to expand, but their luck and power will even decline!

At that time, there will be no choice but to completely integrate into the Qianxia Dynasty.

Of course, the benefits that the people of these forces could obtain at that time were undoubtedly much less.

After all, actively joining and passively joining are two completely different things!
However, the road to becoming a dynasty is not so easy.

Because, from dynasty to empire, the "quantity" required for the sea of ​​luck and clouds increased not tenfold, but a hundredfold!
Even though the Qianxia Dynasty is now much more powerful than ordinary dynasties, it is still far from the standard of an imperial dynasty. However, with the help of some top-level "power of strange objects", it may be possible to realize some of the "imperial" functions.

"Master Jiajia, has the Fengshan Ceremony been prepared?"

After understanding the basic situation, Xia Tian asked.

Yes, Fengshan!
The "Altar of Heaven" among the five founding artifacts of the Qianxia Dynasty was a "Altar of Gods" built by the gods from another world, which was transformed after being baptized by the destiny of the human race.

It possesses a law power called "Fengshan", which can raise the "authority" currently possessed by its own luck and power to a higher level.

Today, the Qianxia Dynasty has unified more than 90% of the areas where the Huaxia people have descended, and its luck has exceeded ten thousand miles. Under this circumstance, it is highly likely that the "fengshan" will allow the Qianxia Dynasty to have some of the authority and power of the "dynasty" in advance! (End of this chapter)
